There was a clean sweep for Ennis player Karen
MacNamara at the recent Connacht Juvenile Open when she won the U13 Girls
Singles, Girls Doubles, and Mixed Doubles. Karen beat her doubles partner
and clubmate Lana Browne in a closely contested Girls Singles Final. Both
girls made light work of the singles draw and went on to provide a very exciting
singles final. Karen and Lana earlier teamed up to take the Girls
Doubles Title and, in the very last match of the day, Karen and her Cork
partner Tomas Howard, beat Lana and her Cork partner, Brian O'Mahony in the
Mixed Doubles Final. Tomas and Brian had earlier captured the U13 Boys
Doubles title, and Tomas won the Boys Singles Plate (Brian being narrowly beaten
in the semi-final of the Boys Singles).

In the U17 event, Ennis player Moya Ryan had some
outstanding wins on her way to contesting the U17 Girls Singles Final.
Moya (still only 13 years old) played a very good final and was unlucky to lose
out in two sets.

Well done to the Ennis tennis team that defeated Carrigaline from Cork t home last Sunday in Grade 6 of the Munster Club Chamoionships. The team was Sean Carroll, Chris Rudland, Angela O'Sullivan and Cathy Foley.
